The movement starts with the athletes hip crease below parallel and ball in hand, and ends when the ball makes contact with the face of the target. Any time that the ball makes contact with the ground, stops moving up or down while in the athletes hands, or is being moved at a speed that is deemed uncommonly slow, it will count as a drop. If you miss the target but catch the ball and keep moving the rep will not count but you may continue wall ball.

Thank you all for being a part of this great CrossFit community and the South West Competition Series!

We have adopted the traditional rank based scoring system used in the open. This system uses your rank in any event as a score (example: 1st = 1 point, 2nd = 2 points, etc.)

All events are scored equally making the lowest score ideal. This will include all events. In the event of a tie, precedence will go to the highest place achieved (example: Team Red and Team Blue are tied after all events but Team Red had a 1st place finish in an event…Team Red would win due to their highest placement)

The time has come to finish up the 2015 South West Competition Series with a male/female team comp in “Witches and Warlocks” on November 7th @ Progressive Fitness CrossFit. Grab yourself a partner and get registered!!! We do expect this competition to sell out quickly so be prepared when we open registration this Friday, September 25th at 8am!!
